Three Ways to Style a Blanket Scarf

Outfit Details: Tartan blanket scarf, J.Crew Sweater (similar here), Pleated Skirt (old, similar here), Burgandy Tieks, also seen here.

Now that we’re halfway through October, the days are starting to have that crisp, fall chill to them. So what does that mean? Time to pull out the scarves! I love dressing up my look with scarves – I feel like it brings the whole ensemble together.

My favorite type of scarf is a blanket scarf, because there are so many ways to tie and wear them! So today I’m going to show you the three ways I most frequently style mine. And by the way, this blanket scarf is so warm and soft, comes in many beautiful colors, and it’s less than $15!

The first, and most common way I wear my blanket scarf is in a classic drape. Fold the square blanket scarf in half to make a large triangle. Drape over your neck with the point of the triangle in front of you, cross the ends behind your neck, and pull to the front. I then either tuck the ends into the fold, or tie them if I want it more secure. 

The second way I fold my blanket scarf is into an infinity scarf. Fold the scarf into a triangle. Tie the two ends together, drape over your neck, and tuck the ends in as necessary. I usually drape mine around my neck twice.

The third way I style my scarf is to wear it as a shawl. Arguably the easiest scarf fold ever! Fold the square scarf into a half triangle, and drape over your shoulders like a shawl/blanket. I love this fold for evenings where it’s not quite cold enough for a coat, but I need something to take the edge off. This is also a fun way to dress up a little black dress!
